Comment on Getting your WMP54G v2 (BCM43xx) wireless PCI card working under Vista/Windows 7 by Thomas Heiss

Hi,

superb information! My day safer.

Unfortunatley Dell stopped offering the driver download (link) directly.

Download it here – got it working on XP with WMP54gV2 AFTER a reboot.

Comment on Turning off the XO-1’s wire mesh network by David Snyder

David Snyder — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:36:35 +0000

This solution only works, AFAIK, if there is already an entry in./sys/class/net/eth0 for lbs_mesh. Otherwise, since the items in the /sys hierarchy are not actual files, you’ll get a permissions error when you try to create the lbs_mesh file, e.g. via use of echo. Or at least that’s what happens to me.

So how do I disable the mesh network when, no matter how I set the permissions for the /sys hierarchy while logged in as root, I cannot create a file called lbs_mesh?

The keyboard of the OLPC XO-1 is the best keyboard ever.

I wish i could buy an adult sized one (I have big hands).

Comment on A simple batch file to automate remote CrashPlan management by stephan

Hi Henry! Yes, it works fantastically once you get it all set up, and it’s been backing up my NAS contents for the past month.

In fact, setting up Crashplan headless on our ARM-based DS411j is even easier now than before, thanks to the awesome PC Load Letter. Check it out, here: http://pcloadletter.co.uk/2012/01/30/crashplan-syno-package/

Thank is great work there! So you can confirm crashplan headless works on the Synology DS411j with it’s 128MB RAM? I thought the crashplan client required 1GB of RAM, which was giving me pause to purchase one.
